© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019. As the result of the intense research activity of the past decade, Semantic Web technology has achieved a notable popularity and maturity. This technology is leading the evolution of the Web via inter-operability by providing structured metadata. Because of the adoption of rich data models on a large scale to support the representation of complex relationships among concepts and automatic reasoning, the computational performance of ontology-based systems can significantly vary. In the evaluation of such a performance, a number of critical factors should be considered. Within this paper, we provide an empirical framework that yields an extensive analysis of the computational performance of ontology-based systems. The analysis can be seen as a decision tool in managing the constraints of representational requirements versus reasoning performance. Our approach adopts synthetic ontologies characterised by an increasing level of complexity up to OWL 2 DL. The benefits and the limitations of this approach are discussed in the paper.
